Sue started her career as an electrical engineer. Wanting a new challenge, Sue attended law school and passed both the Federal Patent Bar and the Florida Bar, and went to work as a Patent Attorney for the prestigious Ackerman Senterfitt law firm in Palm Beach, Florida.
 
Sue and her young family eventually relocated to Aspen in 2004 where Sue joined Alpine Legal Services, allowing Sue to pursue her passion for helping those less fortunate in the areas of domestic violence, family law, and elder issues.
 
Sue is now transferring her extensive experience practicing law and litigation into focusing primarily on Mediation. Sue has completed formal training in Mediation, including working with the Jeffco Mediation Program in Golden, Colorado, and obtained a Certificate in Mediation from Harvard Law School.
